Product Description

A unique, polarized version of our Heron range, borrowing functionality from traditional glacier sunglasses by using leather side shields to block out sunlight reflections and glare. Traditional sunglasses, even wraparound ones, often don’t provide enough protection for long, sunny days out at sea. For maximum protection, opt for the Heron Ocean as your go-to sunglasses for ocean activities such as fishing, sailing, and kayaking. Your eyes will notice the difference.

Terrible reflection in the glasses which compromises your vision. 👎�

VALLON

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you were not pleased with your sunglasses. Any time there is light coming from the back there can be some minor reflections, and since we need air holes for ventilation there will always be a little bit of light coming through. The overwhelming majority of our customers don't find this a problem, and I don't myself, but everyone is of course different. I'm afraid side shield glasses by nature tend to have reflections in them as all it takes is a little bit of light to get in through the side shields to generate a small reflection. Hope that at least provides some explanation as to why this might occur!
